Can I ask what George was testifying about? I missed that part, too.
The defense, somehow, mistakenly, believed that George would make their case for them on the issue of Mr. Padilla. He was questioned in regards to the "security" that was supposedly provided by Mr. Padilla and co.
I don't understand the ruling on Tim Miller....
There was not an actual ruling on this yet. He is granting something but he did not expound on what that might be.
CA looked as if she has been crying and like she wanted to hug the perp. Perp didnt even give her parents a second glance. Shook hands with everyone else and left.
As usual.
Not to show any undue kindness or consideration for Casey, because I have NONE, but a perp in custody is not allowed to touch ANYONE, I would say shaking hands with the attorneys is the exception. She could not hug her parents even if she wanted to but she could speak to them or look their way or wave.
As for my own take on the hearing: WOW! Just wow that they are reaching as hard as they are. The defense very obviously does not have a leg to stand on and they are doing the spaghetti on the wall trick again. Their suggestion that a cadaver dog be used on Mr. Lazzaros auto and then Mr. Jay stating that Casey HAD Mr. Lazzaros car for one week during that time period seemed to shut that right down. Them wanting to know AL's pings so they could determine if HE was ever at the location where the remains were found? Are they KIDDING? It makes me extremely happy that they are reaching so far out into the realm of the inplausible, because to me it means they are up against a wall and have nothing to go on. As for shutting Padilla and company up? Did everyone hear the state talk about the things that Tracy (the female BG) had told them in HER statement, not things she heard but things that she SAW? Like the cutesie messages from some guy on MySpace? I think this is the exact reason why they want to shut down the entire crew, because the female gave them incriminating information, even if only circumstancial.
They won, in a sense, the motion on Tony's phone records, although the time period was shortened from January 31 down to December 18.
They won, in a sense, the motion about Tim M. as he will be certified as a material witness in all likelihood, but they did not seem to win the broad scope of info that they were seeking.
They will lose the Padilla and company motion is my bet and this will be a HUGE blow to the defense.(IMHO)
They will lose the check trial date motion, as their is NO reason why that should not move forward, and busy attorneys is not a reason. As was pointed out so eloquently by the state, if her attorneys cannot adequately represent her in the matter then she should seek new counsel who CAN.(also IMHO)
